I have been falling. Coastal wood for the last 23 years. Fell spruce trees up too 12 feet and cedar up to 15. Used ported 2100 husky's, ported ms660's. I heard about Simon a few years back. I decided to try one of his ms460's. I am running a lightweight 32 inch bar with square ground 75cj chain. The saw is a rocket and is ran 6.5 hrs a day. My second one, a ms460 arctic is in back of truck heading to the woods tomorrow. I let a couple of other fallers try it. One ordered two for himself and the other ordered a 372. They both are full time callers and love these saws. The shop here was getting in ported saws from another builder, but is now ordering in Simons saws.
Love your saws Simon. With good ground 3/8 chain on a 32" bar they seem to almost speed up in the cut. We all run silvey grinders. I have the Prosharp and love it. Have been following this thread for awhile. Wanted to get on sooner and say that your saws are a workers saw and not just a hobbiest. Simon your ms460 is by far the most favorite saw that I have fell with.
